Hi All
I hope someone can help me out. I am fairly new to ESRI and administrating without support. Most of my experience with ESRI is in the field, using products as a collector, viewing and editing data collected by crews in the field online, and working with an in-house support person as the main administrator. Now, I am on my own and feeling a little lost.
I am setting up a new account for a non-profit organization to identify and monitor individuals of a wildlife species population in a designated geographic area. I am building a collector in Field Maps with multiple layers and correlating forms for collecting data in the field, including photos. The data collected needs to be searchable for specific attributes to re-identify certain individuals, such as color, right side marking, left side marking, etc, that have been collected as fields in the forms. I need to display the collected data and have it searchable on a dashboard and web map.
I want to preface this next bit of information with the statement that I have thoroughly followed the relevant directions from a different post and reviewed and followed the enterprise article regarding configuring search layers and tables. In the web map search function settings, I see the drop-down for the layer I am currently trying to set up. However, only some of the fields are being displayed for selection. The five relevant fields I would like to have searchable are not there. When I go to the featured layer and look at the data tab, then field tab, and compare the field types I want to have searchable that are not appearing selectable in the drop-down, with the fields that are appearing selectable in the drop-down, I cannot see any differences. When I compare the details of each string and integer fields, I can not see any differences and understand why one would display and the next would not.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you.
Do the fields that are not showing up for you in the drop-down contain a domain (where you select from a list of pre-populated values instead of free-text entry when creating/editing a feature)? If the answer is yes, then it won't show up. For a field to be searchable, it must not contain a domain.
